RAMS NOT TRADING LITTLE
Posted by Mike Florio on October 10, 2008, 11:15 a.m.
Despite random and unsubstantiated rumors that the Broncos are interested in acquiring defensive end Leonard Little from the Rams, we’re told that the Rams won’t be trading him.

Little was a third-round pick of the Rams in 1998. On October 19 of his rookie year — his birthday — Little drove while drunk and took the life of Susan Gutweiler. (The situation didn’t draw nearly as much attention and scrutiny as it should have, possibly because if someone had uttered in 1998 the term “blogosphere,” the response would have been “Gesundheit.”)

Little has since become one of the best defensive linemen in the game. Even though he’ll celebrate his 34th birthday when the Rams host the Cowboys later this month, Little is still a key piece of the Rams’ defense.

And it’s not surprising that the current coaching staff and front office want to keep him. With plenty of uncertainty in St. Louis, everyone drawing a paycheck now will have a better chance of drawing one in 2009 if the Rams can reverse their 0-4 start. With Little on the team, there’s a better chance of that happening.

Re: Rams not trading little

I could've said that we weren't going to trade him. Now if Long was just an absolute beast that hit the ball carrier every time the ball was played, then I wouldn't mind.

But unfortunately...he is not that defensive player (yet). We need the mentor in Little on the team. He still has "it" and will put on a show for us fans to watch. He's the leader of this young line and they're only going to improve more.
